It’s still hard to say if I am a real gamer or not, I like to play sure, but as my current experience shows, at some single player games, I am just not that good. Don’t get me wrong, Portal (part of The Orange Box) is an interesting concept, but to be honest, since I’m just not that good, I made it to like test 15 or whatever and am having all kinds of trouble, walkthrough’s confuse me. The stress it is causing me is just way too much. Kameo is also fun, but I’ve gotten to a boss battle where I have to use Deep Blue, Deep Blue is just too hard for me to control in the water. Can’t I just have a simple fun mindless game that I can actually win? Even Spyglass board games is driving me up the wall, I can play Reversi, Checkers and Mancala, but I’m not even good enough to beet the AI. Chess, don’t even go there, no idea how to play Chess.
